Has any Angel team been so bad and unlucky immediately after the trade deadline? Especially when each move was supposed to bring improvement now rather than in the future.

At least one person must enjoy them or they would just cancel them

I bet Patrick O'Neal enjoyed them if he was there tonight.

What happens first, Tim Anderson gets knocked out again or the Angels get knocked out of playoff contention?

Maybe Nevin should shave his head and get fired

[TroutField]

It’s hard to feel bad for the players, if you guys don’t want to be disappointed then fucking perform when you’re needed. 
 

the biggest stretch of games in 9 years and the angels completely fold to the tune of losing 7 of 9 and now in the midst of 5 in a row, the pitching sucks, the offense looks even worse, and the in game decision are atrocious. 
 

We have no leader in the dugout thats calling these guys out for fucking up.

 

”tough room to be in right now”

If they do get swept tomorrow, I wonder if Perry and/or Moreno at least think about dumping Nevin, if for no other reason than to "do something".

I highly doubt it. And that’s not really doing something productive.

If you notice, I put "do something" in quotes, with the implication that I don't think firing him would make a difference. 

[Angels in 2030]

All of this was so predictable and easy to see.  The schedule was setup for them to sell - not buy.  Likely gonna get worse before it gets any better.  You’d have to be a fool (or Perry/Arte) to buy and think this team was a playoff caliber team. 

[Duren, Duren]

And Trout unavailable during the most critical period of the last however many seasons. Not his fault, but a lost chance where he could have led by example.

Fuck these fucking losers

If they want to do something productive, they should waive anybody not named Ohtani or Trout.  Call up everybody from Triple AAA to fill out the roster.  How much worse could that end up being?

[Tank]

imagine how much better they'd be if they could hit with RISP.

Have you looked at the AAA roster lately?

He’s going to have some more free time to spend with family and friends in the next few months

That would be the ultimate White Flag / Throw In the Towel move.

So Cabbage, Fletcher, Soto, Padlo, Murphy, Walsh, Stefanic, Phillips.

Right.
